 Now that the session of the Four teenth Legislature has closed, an, their acts of commission and omission l have. to some extent; become knowr s through the agency of the press anC 8 members reports to their constituents it has become evident to 6 majority o thinking citizens that Gov. Zulick, ir
 his capacity as executive Of the Terri.
 tory, is a failure, and that the charge. r of political dupIicity brought against
 him by an almost unanimous press
 are generally true. H2has certainly
 not helped the Democratic party in
 Arizona, but, on the contrary, has
 been the means of causing dissensiors
 in it's ranks and lowering 1t in the
 minds of many people v5o love integ-
 rity and honesty Of purpose in pubic
 officials and party leaders. The ap-
 continent, by the President, of Zu-
 lick as Governor of arizona was, 10
 say the least, unfortunate.
 It is quite evident tha. not all the
 acts, performed, of tbo Fourteenth Legislature, or what wa.5 left undone, were wise; yet there weA ! unusual
 amount of good sense and honest in
 tention, together with hard work and
 a commendabIe spirit of independence displayed in that body-aspecially in
 the lower house. Yet the work per
 formed by the Fourteenth is far from
 satisfactory and when the cause is sought, it Is found that desirable leg Islation was obstructed and made nu- gatory by a minority party, at tue head of which va: the Governor.
 It would be difficult to point to an administration that committed so many inconsistencies; whose acts were So much in opposition to its plausible talk and assumption of high moral grounds as were Coy. Zulick's. His veto of the District Judges salary blll, . after having recommended t in hls message, Is an example of his cratic !. course. Again, while the Governor advocated abolishlng County Courts, . he cndeayored to saddle upon the sev- eral counties an equally if not more costly judiciary system-circuit courts all, perhaps, in the interest of good government: but more likely to create fat positions for his henchmen. Then, in contrast with his veto Of tholottery blli, on high moral grounds, is his sanction ot all sorts of gambling by signing the bill licensing games of chance.
 As an economist. toe, Ealick IS not less singular in his actions. He must nave considered 1t wIse economy to ad- ,ise the Legislature that no clerical .orce in excess Of that provided by ]ongress, could be employed, which made impossible the keeping of iour- lals of proceedings, and the proper 'nroiiing and engrossing Of bills. which are now left to the tender mer- y Of those who have the handling or hem, who may doctor them as they ee it without fear of detection. But lie Governor was not backward in pressing, upon the Appropriation Committee, the payment of the ey-. 'ensa incurred by the unauthorized publication of the proceedings of the nsano Asylum Commissioner.
 But, aside from all such question ble actions, the Governor has cer- ainly not treated the representatives f the people with due frankness and expect. His appointment, to import nt offices, Of men to act as dummIes, :ith the design of subsequently, re- '2tuihS li3 henchmen of the legiSla- i've body, was grossly unjust, and, he ,riier thinks, contrary to organic F. IVY, and this action and the withhold 1g of the Insane Asylum documents 'om the House, was undjgnifed and | 9lGsh. It is to be hoped that Gov. . olick wilI-!n view cf the almost = expressions Of dissatisfac- + on with his course from press and the error Of his way and ake amends, as far as lies in his ?. oHer.
